The Atari 7800+ follows on the heels of last year's Atari 2600+.
In essence, its a shell swap of the 2600+ they released previously, since they will both play the same games. I know its a bit of a stretch... but why not make a Jaguar+ that plays the Jag, 7800, 5200 and 2600 games in one? Throw in a Lynx adapter (ala super gameboy) and then you can play the portable games on the big screen too.
In addition to that make the games built in and stuff the cartridge support.
So they can support it like their Ouya... I mean VCS (I have both too ugh.). No thanks. There are very few great Atari games from that era, most of the good Atari games came way later and were arcade based. So rather than get get a compilation of those games (pretty much available on any console), it's better to spend a big chunk on another console so you can stick carts of terrible games that are basically the same game with a couple changes in control direction or a sprite. Hellz nopes. You are better off spending that money on a retro/import console and building a real library, rather than another regurgitation from a company cosplaying as Atari.
This may be interesting. Today, Atari is excited to announce preorders for a Save Mary collectible Atari 2600 cartridge. Each cartridge comes in a special silver collectors edition box and includes a full-color user manual. Only 500 copies are available for $59.99 each.
I am curious what the gameplay is like as back then; games were cranked out good or bad to meet demand. So why exactly did they stop making it.
This sounds great. one of the world's most iconic consumer brands and interactive entertainment producers — revealed last week the Outlaw Limited Edition Atari 2600 Cartridge, featuring new key art by Brazilian pop culture artist Butcher Billy. Available for preorder exclusively in the United States for $59.99.
